I own an '87 Suzuki Samurai that recently blew the headgasket in the 1.3 liter gas motor (60hp). I'm probably going to do a motor swap to the VW 1.6td as those engines can still be found and the conversion is relatively straightforward.
But I've also toyed with the idea of going electric.
--So what's a good ballpark figure for cost of motor, controller, and batteries?
--Lead acid or lithium?
--Size of electric motor?
This vehicle is rarely used for trips more than 50 miles but occasionally ventures onto the dunes where we live in coastal Oregon.
All input appreciated.
